The DJ world’s greatest creative journey is BACK! The DMC Online DJ Championship 2012!
Launches on Wednesday 22nd Feb!
Get your 2 min sets ready! The 2012 Online DJ Championship will have some new changes from last year, including free entry for all competitors. There will be THREE VOTING HEATS and a FINAL where performances will be judged by the public and established DMC World Champion DJs. Each heat will have a four week entry period before all films are revealed in a one week voting period. Submissions will be accepted from Muzu, Youtube and Vimeo.
Prizes include $3000 cash and an all expenses trip to the September DMC WORLD FINALS in London with the option to compete live for the ultimate DJ title or just simply join the world’s National DJ champions as a VIP spectator. A treasure trove of equipment will make up this handsome prize. There will also be prizes for heat winners and runners up and the voting public will also be given their chance to win prizes from the event’s top DJ equipment sponsors.
This year you will be able to vote and submit via Facebook or any of the DMC partner sites who embed the competition on their website! In 2011 DMC attracted 1.7m viewers on youtube from 190 countries, and this year we expect a much higher reach!
This contest is open to aspiring and pro DJs globally. All submitting DJs will gain new supporters, followers and recognition through the process.
The DJ ONLINE CHAMPIONSHIP is different from any of the three existing DMC live contests which are staged annually in up to 40 nations and include the Battle for World Supremacy (single head to head knock-outs); the DJ Team Championship and the main DMC WORLD DJ CHAMPIONSHIP. In the Online competition, because the DJs have all the time in the world to film their two minute set in the comfort of their own home, DMC allow them to use any equipment they wish, vinyl, CD, computers, keyboards, etc. This freedom of choice cannot be contained in the annual live on stage competitions due to the technical difficulties in changing so much equipment in front of a live audience. On this basis the ONLINE event is the world’s only OPEN DJ contest where anything goes.
So, what are you waiting for! Get practising your 2 min sets!
See you on 22nd Feb at 5pm (UK Time) for the launch of the DMC Online DJ Championships 2012!

CUT003 Beat Creep – madman release date 27th feb 2012
The third release from the Creepy Cuts Crypt. “Madman” produced by Beat Creep is a DnB monster! With its high-energy beats, glitched out bass and chopped up strings it’s sure to make you go into a frenzy… Keep your ear to the floor for future work from this guy, pure DnB monster! Remixes from: Default and Skarz. Default’s mix (Jungle) features a dubby bassline with snappy amen edits guaranteed to get the party jumping. Skarz mix is a pure wobbled out dubstep honker!!! Fun for all the family!
